As described by the Globe and Mail, The ReLit awards are “the country’s pre-eminent literary prize recognizing independent presses.” This is a a well-regarded award, and Breakwater is thrilled to have three titles nominated this year!

Nicole Lundrigan’s The Seary Line andGlen Carter’s Angels of Maradona have been nominated for the fiction award, and Boyd Chubbs’ Feral Domicile for the poetry award.

The Seary Line by Nicole Lundrigan

“[The Seary Line] is a character-driven tale and Lundrigan’s gift is to create memorable ones. There’s more than enough suspense to keep the story moving and the settings are great.”
– Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail

“All golden books are Bibles — art illuminated and brilliant with vision. Few poets succeed in making such books. Among English Canadians, there are Leonard Cohen and Gwendolyn MacEwen. And let us add Boyd Warren Chubbs.”
– George Elliot Clark, Governor General’s award winner for poetry
